I have not seen response to these
items from the listserv. Is everyone on the list ok with this process so
that I can let Barbara know to open the list.
According to the suggestions below,
would anyone be willing to moderate the list for subscription? Do you
feel that this is critical or should we just make it an open list at this
point?
The other questions are probably best
left for after the list is fully active at this point.
Thanks for any comments on these
suggestions.
Yours in cooperation,

Subject: Can we get this list going?
Barbara Roseman had posed some issues in her
initial email to the charter members of this list. After some discussion
within the gTLD Registry Constituency group and with Barbara, the following
suggestions seem appropriate in terms of organizing the list prior to general
publicity:
Some operational issues:
1) Should the list be completely open for subscription and
posting?, or
should it be a moderated list,
open for subscription but with moderated
posts?, or should it stay invitation-only, with only participants able
to post?
It was felt that the list should be moderated for
subscription but not for posting. This would reduce the effort on a
moderator because they would only need to review requests for addition and not
all postings. Barbara indicated that ICANN can add a spam filter so that
any suspect postings can be reviewed prior to release. The problem would
be to identify a moderator as only the list itself is provided by ICANN and
not any support such as a moderator. Would someone volunteer to do
this?
2) Should the list be publicized for further
participation? Where, and
under what
conditions?
This list should be made generally available so
that not only registries and ISPs but other affected constituencies and their
members can be a part of this discussion. Barbara suggested that ICANN
publish this list on the ICANN web site to increase exposure once the basic
rules are set. Interested constituencies can alert others as
well.

3) This group needs to be self-organizing. A useful
discussion can probably
be initiated by
creating a taxonomy of difficulties encountered in using
the newer TLDs, but moving things forward will have to be
done collectively
by the
participants.
Here is the list of items that have been reported
in my tld in a generic manner:
- Registrants with new tld email addresses have
their email rejected. The same email sent from a .com or .org address
is accepted.
- Organizations sending messages to a new TLD
address show that mail as rejecting even though mail from others is
delivered to the .coop email boxes.
- New tld registrants receive reports that
Internet users cannot access their site although they can access the related
.org, .com, etc. site.
- New tld email addresses are not accepted as
contact addresses on e-commerce sites, requiring a secondary email address
for those trying to use many common online vendors.
- Registrants find that their current web hosting
firms will not host a new tld site or will not redirect a new tld domain
name to an existing site forcing a change in vendor if they want to use the
new tld domain name.
Can other tlds add to this list please?
4) Some testing was done by the ISP group in South
America in February immediately prior to the meeting in Rome. Have any
results from that testing identified issues that can be discussed on this
list?
I am interested in your comments. If others
need to be added to the list at this time in order to expand this discussion,
we are still setup so that they should send a request to be added to the list
to Barbara at roseman@xxxxxxxxxx
